American McGee's new Spicy Horse Studios is on the hunt for a "dark cartoon" concept artist for their upcoming game based on the dark side of Grimm's Fairy Tales. The ad calling for talent showed up on McGee's Flickr photo gallery a few days ago and was spotted by Kotakuite, Joe. It outlines the types of styles they are looking for which is dark and spooky as opposed to bloody and gory. The list of applicable influences include the likes of Tim Burton, Tim Biskup, Dave McKean, Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are and McGee's own Alice. You can send your appropriately creepy samples or links to ken@spicyhorse.com.

A full sized version of the ad with all the trimmings is available for perusal at American McGee's Flickr Gallery or you can see it on American McGee's Blog. Flynn De Marco
